Together for Short Lives is here for the 99,000 families up and down the UK, caring for a seriously ill child and the children’s hospices that provide them with vital care.  

The pain of hearing that your child will die young is unimaginable for most of us, but for the families we support, it is the heart-breaking reality that they face.

Our partnership will help families caring for a seriously ill child to get the support they need by:

1. Raising vital funds for children's hospices across the country. 

Children’s hospices are full of light and joy, providing essential support to families at the hospice, at home, and in the community. They are a lifeline to families, providing short breaks, respite care, and practical support, enabling families to be families.

2. Helping families caring for a seriously ill child make precious memories together.

When life is short, there’s no time to waste. Our partnership will raise vital funds for children’s hospices and will enable families to create precious memories and make the most of every moment they have together.

3. Enabling Together for Short Lives to be there for thousands more families caring for seriously ill children in the UK who need support.

Not everyone will know about the vital care provided by children’s hospices. We will work together to reach out to more families caring for a seriously ill child across the country, so no one slips through the net, and instead gets the support they need.
